Owning in Lincoln Park
Lincoln Park takes its name from the lakefront park that runs along its east side, home to Lincoln Park Zoo, which is free and open daily, the glass-domed Lincoln Park Conservatory, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, the Chicago History Museum, the North Pond Nature Sanctuary and the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool. North Avenue Beach and the Lakefront Trail draw runners, cyclists and volleyball players. Inland, Oz Park, Jonquil Park and Wiggly Field offer neighborhood green space. Armitage Avenue is known for boutiques, while Halsted Street, Lincoln Avenue and Clark Street add restaurants, bars and theaters, and the Clybourn Corridor handles bigger-box shopping.
Lincoln Park’s homes span the neighborhood’s full history. In the Mid-North District, a Chicago Landmark district since 1977, wooden cottages that predate the 1871 Great Chicago Fire stand near 1870s Italianate homes, Queen Anne houses and 1880s Romanesque Revival buildings in rough-faced stone. The Arlington-Deming, Old Town Triangle and other landmark districts preserve similar late-1800s streetscapes. Brick and greystone two- and three-flats, many now single-family homes or condos, line many blocks, joined by early 20th-century courtyard buildings. High-rises overlook the park, and newer single-family homes fill in on the western side.
